Ingredients

Scale

2 leeks, cleaned and sliced
100 g smoked salmon, chopped into small pieces
4 eggs
200 ml crème fraîche
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped chives, for garnish
Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Clean and slice the leeks. Heat a little olive oil in a pan and cook the leeks until tender and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Cut the smoked salmon into small bite-sized pieces.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and crème fraîche together until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked leeks and smoked salmon to the egg mixture. Stir to combine evenly.
Grease a muffin tin or mini quiche molds and divide the mixture into the molds.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the quiches are golden and firm in the center.
Let cool for a few minutes before carefully unmolding the quiches.
Sprinkle with chopped chives just before serving.

Notes

These quiches are a great make-ahead option. Simply store them in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
You can substitute crème fraîche with sour cream or heavy cream for a different texture.
For a lighter version, you can use low-fat crème fraîche or Greek yogurt.
